What is the actual purpose of the accessible property in the NetworkSummary data object ?

Hi There,

I have a scenario where i need to monitor the SSH connectivity of the ESX server.

Simple way is to ping each server and get the status of individuals against the response of a ping.

I found the accessible property in thenetwork summarydata object.

vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center

Description of it is not that much succinct to get the meaning of it in a one go.

Is anyone aware about the purpose of this property? Will it be helpful to monitor the SSH connectivity of ESX Server.(something like iteratively checking the ping status)

How it internally works? Does it try a ping to individual server to confirm the connectivity?

Any help will be appreciated.

Abhijit.
